A Co Donegal woman who turns 100 today received the birthday wish of a lifetime – a visit from Daniel O’Donnell.<\/p>\n
Kitty Roarty got the best present yesterday when the singer surprised her at her home in The Wood, Glenties.<\/p>\n
When Kitty turned 99 last year, Daniel sent her a video message for her celebrations.<\/p>\n
The Kincasslagh man then promised Kitty that he would call in person and help her celebrate her centenary birthday.<\/p>\n
And true to his word, Daniel took time out of his Christmas to visit Kitty.<\/p>\n
A shocked Kitty welcomed the star and said, “Daniel, I can’t believe you’re here.”<\/p>\n
The pair chatted, had photos taken and sang a couple of songs together.<\/p>\n
Kitty, originally from Bruckless, is a huge fan of the singer and loves watching him on his TG4 series Opry Le Daniel.<\/p>\n
Kitty lived in Birmingham for a number of years with her late husband, Michael, before returning and settling in Glenties.<\/p>\n
With five children, 21 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, there were promises of a lot of birthday cake and fun – even before Santa arrives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Co Donegal woman who turns 100 today received the birthday wish of a lifetime – a visit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-208880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
